What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Mayne stone circle (at Little Mayne Farm) as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Mayne stone circle is likely from the Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, based on the typical dating of such ceremonial monuments in Britain. Its purpose may have been ritual or astronomical, though specific folklore or use remains unrecorded.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
